Hi, if you have bought a property and expecting to sign a S&P at the lawyer's office. Asside from administering the CPF stuffs, what else does the lawyer do? Is it standard to check the title of the property you are buying? And if buying fro m a developer, does he still do the check?

Thanks!

It doesn't sound like so from the way I hear it. We'd sign the S&P at his prescence when we meet him the 1st time. And he does not go through the whole documents, maybe to answer some points we have questions for. What time does he have for checking before we sign?

I'm a newbie, so am asking these questions. Will appreciate anyone who's more experienced (thank you devil plate) for some info on the procedure.

In general they suppose to ensure that the property u are buying is 'AS good" to buy..meaning, few item to note

the seller is not under bankruptcy proceed wher asset is under managment,

Pty of interest not under acquisition,

Pty of interest not under lian, etc etc..

U can actually asked him to explain his process....
